Individuals, including those with visual impairments or blindness, engage in currency transactions, posing challenges in recognizing notes and preventing mishaps with counterfeit money. Despite government efforts, features like embossing on banknotes have limited effectiveness due to the circulated currency's disheveled condition. Addressing the visually impaired community's needs is imperative. An innovative solution, the "all-in-one smart white cane," integrated with machine learning supports daily activities, enhancing independence for visually impaired individuals. The YOLOv8 algorithm is employed for the precise detection of monetary denominations, subsequently recorded through a camera and seamlessly integrated into a smart cane, resulting in a consolidated device. This device, designed with standout features, excels in detecting Indonesian Rupiah banknote denominations. Detection performance testing, incorporating methods like object rotation, utilized a dataset divided into training (70%), validation (20%), and test (10%) segments. Modifications to contrast and variability rotation are essential in the context of real-time nomination recognition. These adjustments are implemented to ensure accurate and swift identification in dynamic, real-world scenarios. Testing results reveal a 99% average accuracy in recognizing currency note denominations, presenting an effective solution for the visually impaired community.

INTRODUCTION Visual impairments represent a significant challenge faced by more than 285 million individuals worldwide, with 39 million among them experiencing blindness and 124 million grappling with low vision, according to data presented by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1]. The substantial population affected underscores the importance of providing special attention to the visually impaired community. Visual impairment is not an isolated ophthalmic condition, but various conditions can cause this visual manifestation [2]. It is crucial to note that despite their visual impairments, they possess the potential to engage in daily activities just like any other individual. Therefore, it is imperative to seek adequate solutions to facilitate their livelihoods. Financial transactions play a pivotal role in supporting the sustenance of every individual, including the visually impaired community. These transactions encompass purchasing goods, economic activities, and various financial exchanges. Unfortunately, individuals with visual impairments often encounter challenges when engaging in buying and selling, such as confusion in distinguishing currency notes or even the risk of falling victim to counterfeit money. Bank Indonesia has responded to feedback from the visually impaired community regarding their challenges with physical currency transactions [3]. One of the measures taken is the adjustment of the length differences between currency notes, from the previous 2 millimeters to 5 millimeters. Although this step is positive, many visually impaired individuals still experience discomfort in distinguishing currency denominations based solely on length. Moreover, currency notes in circulation are often not in pristine condition, which can affect the visually impaired's
